I wanna gonna start a new Z32 project this summer. I want to build a naturally aspirated Z. Wanted to hear pros and con for the different engines.

I already have a 95 TT btw, so the VG30DETT itch is already scratched haha thanks guys

 

Hum.. V6 vs V8.

Did you see this? My 300zx slicktop VH45DE swap project

 

Were u able to complete the swap? and did it clear the hood?

I know this can be an issue. My main reasons for not jumping on the v8 is that
and the lack of aftermarket support

 

VH45 vs VG30DETT? Personally I prefer the VG in the Z32. Sure the VH is lighter, but I feel it's power potential is more limited than the VG's is. There's only so much you can do with the N/A VH45. It seems prohibitively expensive to add forced indiction into the mix due to Z32 space constraints in the engine bay. Sure you could always fab up a remote rear mount turbo, but geez man... this is alot of damn work. Boring the the VH out to be a 5.0... Anybody got any final numbers this might put out in N/A form with other sensible mods? What, maybe 350whp tops? And then what next?

It just seems better to stick with the motor that supposed to be in this car in the first place. The TT has PLENTY of proven potential in it. But I'll let the choir preach about that.
